Health and video games! How to protect yourself?

Today I'm going to talk to you about health and video games. Here are some little tips to protect yourself!

Video games are often criticized by the press and certain urban legends persist. That said, you have to be honest, playing video games is good, but sometimes you have to set some limits in order to preserve your health. Video games can cause fatigue, isolation and even addictions. I am not a doctor or specialist, but I will give you 10 simple rules to protect yourself and your children.

Rule number 1, don't play if you are tired/irritated. You won't have a good time, you will play poorly, and you will deteriorate your physical and mental health because of this fatigue. Instead, prefer a good night's sleep. Take care of your sleep (minimum 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night).

Rule number 2, don't play for too long. Be careful with long video game sessions. If possible, avoid playing video games for more than 2 or 3 hours in a row. It’s not easy for some players, especially when the game is excellent, but we have to take breaks, it’s important for our health.

Rule number 3, do a little sport (at your level) in addition to your video game session. Playing is good, but you still have to exert yourself, sport is good fatigue, your body will thank you. Frankly, it can be walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, but exercise at least several times a week. Sport in the morning makes you feel tired and you sleep well at night afterwards.

Rule number 4, adjust your screen correctly! Some of them are equipped with anti-blue light filters. Do not hesitate to limit this color which is harmful to our eyes but especially to our sleep. There are also gaming glasses that protect our eyes from these screens. Also don't play too close to the screen otherwise your head will hurt. Have your vision checked by a healthcare professional.

Rule number 5 Adopt a good position to play. Invest in a good gaming chair to protect your back. IF you play in the living room, a good sofa can do the trick but avoid playing in an extravagant position ^^

Rule number 6 If you can, play in the morning instead of in the evening. I know it's difficult when you have a job and a family life, but when playing in the evening, it's likely that our sleep will be of poorer quality.

Rule number 7 Do not exceed 20-30 minutes of video games if it is a virtual reality game! Watch out for a headache otherwise!

Rule number 8 Stop playing a video game that you don't like. You will be annoyed and you risk blowing a cable because it's not the controller or the console :p

Rule number 9We respect the PEGI of the game. A GTA is not suitable for children, violent games are not for children. Try to respect this rule for the mental health of your toddlers and teenagers.

Rule number 10 Avoid addictive video games (online RPG) or games for money online. Some video games were created to get you addicted, we're not going to lie. I'm not going to name them because you know these addictive games well. I avoid playing RPGs online because I worry that it will cause some players to become isolated. If you see games with "Loot Boxes", avoid throwing your money in there, it's money lost, there's no worse investment.  Unfortunately, I know colleagues who have dropped several thousand euros on video games...

These few simple rules will hopefully preserve your health. Don't forget, health is the greatest wealth! Even if we love video games, you have to be careful, but above all take good care of yourself!
